Inside the Mental Health System
My journey into the world of mental health didn’t begin as a patient, but as a 22-year-old working in locked mental hospitals. I was young, idealistic, and eager to help people heal. But day after day, I watched patients get admitted—and I never saw anyone truly get better. Instead, they were dosed with massive quantities of drugs, subdued into a state of chemical restraint. Their days blurred together, their only moments of relief coming from a cigarette or a cup of coffee. I handed out cigarettes from a fishing tackle box: those relying on the hospital supply got generic smokes, while patients with family support or money might have name-brand packs or roll-your-owns. The inequality was stark, and the routine was dehumanizing—by design. It was a business model built on captive customers: people legally required to be confined in a prison-lite setting, forced to take drugs that extinguished their spirit and light.
Shortly after I got married, my own life began to unravel. The stress was relentless and soon showed up physically, I started losing my hair. At the time, my spouse and I were living in a gutted house we were attempting to renovate ourselves. This was before the internet, so every step was guesswork. I carried the burden of planning, heavy lifting, and being the pillar of strength for someone who refused to lead. The more responsibility I assumed, the more I stepped into the role of 'man of the house' and the more painfully obvious it became how unattractive my partner’s passivity was in the relationship I was now legally bound to.
That winter was brutal. We lived among bare studs, snow blowing through the open spaces, breathing in toxic building materials, and surviving on take-and-bake pizzas and beer. My doctor said none of this had anything to do with how I felt. Instead, she explained, I must have a “genetic predisposition to depression” never mind that I was adopted and had zero medical history, but it sounded plausible enough at the time. So, for my garbage eating lifestyle hair loss and my “toxic marriage,” she wrote a prescription for Prozac.
Looking back, I am stunned I let someone in a white butcher coat sell me a blood brain barrier crossing chemical solution for what was really a crisis of my environment and emotional health/relationship. But as a card-carrying member of the matrix, I thought it might be the answer. I’d even heard Prozac could help you lose weight, so I was on board, especially since I’d gained ten pounds since the wedding. Again, in my underwater fog, the take-and-bake pizzas and beer weren’t a factor; it must just be my mysterious genetics acting up again.
I took the Prozac every day, expecting to feel happy and thin. Six weeks in, nothing had changed; my hair was still falling out, and my waistline was getting bigger. So my doctor doubled the dose. Classic functional or allopathic models: if the treatment isn’t working, double down. Maybe I just didn’t have enough poison in my system yet.
I started taking double the dose, and after about a week and a half, I lost my sanity. I couldn’t eat or sleep. I drank a beer or two every lunch just to keep going. I now believed that the secret to life was to stop eating and just drink some sudsy, poisonous alcohol. For a few weeks, I kept this up. I started shopping sprees at TJ Maxx, buying cartloads of cheap clothes, excited for my new figure. Then, as you might imagine, it all fell horrifically apart. The mania turned to darkness, and suddenly I was lost in a sea of blackness. Suicide began to sound like a reasonable option.
My mind was gone, adrift on some poisonous antidepressant, alcohol, malnutrition, and almost no sleep. In a moment of desperation, I called a suicide hotline. Somewhere deep inside, the real me was terrified, watching as a murderous entity taking over my spirit, intent on total annihilation. The hotline called the police. They took me out of my house in handcuffs, in front of my neighbors gawking, 5150’d me, locked in a six-by-six-foot holding pen, and I paced for hours, waiting to be released.
The nurses were cruel, taunting me, calling me a drama queen, daring me to kill myself. “The Barbie is sad and needs attention.” Working in mental health, I’d seen this before: most nurses have zero compassion for those suffering from mental illness, something beyond their control.
After I was released, things only got worse. I ended up in a car accident on a country road, smashing my face into the windshield. A cab driver appeared from nowhere and took me to the ER, across county lines. There, a mental health professional was called in to talk to me. I didn’t want to talk to him; I was still intent on my final destructive plan. But he looked me in the eye and spoke to me with kindness, dignity, and respect. He told me I was having a reaction to Prozac; he’d seen it before, and if I could stop taking it, and just hang on a few more horrible days, I’d be better in eight to ten weeks.
That conversation saved my life. I never took another pill from that day forward. It took more like six months for the effects of that drug to leave my system; despite its alleged “six-week half-life,” I still felt it coursing through my veins for much longer. My thinking was still delusional at times, not grounded in reality. Since I could see it as an effect of the drugs, it was easier to separate the real from fiction. I forced myself to lie in bed for 6 hours every night even though I didn't sleep and had horrific racing thoughts. It was the grandest form of torture I could experience. Replaying every horrible incident over and over and over again. But I kept telling myself it was the drug and it was going to get better.
When I speak about the mental health system, I do so with firsthand knowledge. I’ve spent decades inside locked wards, first as a working “professional”, then as a patient, and always as a detailed witness to the devastation unleashed by our so-called “solutions.” I’ve watched the medical-industrial complex churn through vulnerable people, peddling chemical restraints, sold as cures, and institutional misery in the name of progress. My own experiences forced me to dig deeper, question the official story, and keep exposing the machinery grinding up lives for meager profits.
What’s truly bizarre, however, is that we are always looking for solutions to the mental health crisis, letting mentally ill adults roam the streets until we get sick of it. Then the US Government, with its 60 million-a-day NAZI I mean NASA fakery, suddenly squeaks out a few pennies to round up the mentally ill and institutionalize them again, garnering even more torment and torture while state-funded monetization continues. Make no mistake, this is a tax-funded racket, almost as profitable as cancer and other barbaric nightmares they create for the slave populations.
Before we can unravel the lies we were taught, we have to ask what was really here before the official story began. The America we inherited is a hollowed-out version of something far older, stranger, and more destructive than anything in the textbooks. There are traces everywhere, ruins, pyramids, fragments of lost cultures, and unexplained marvels of engineering, that outwardly show entire civilizations lost to deliberate erasure. To understand how deep the deception runs, we have to start with the vanished world that existed long before anyone wrote it out of history. This is the lost America, and this is where the real story begins.
Annihilating the Americas
They had to erase the buildings because America was allegedly discovered by Chrissy Columbus, and we can’t have structures that predate that fantastical story of a man-boy losing his course and eating turkey with the natives. The whole Columbus tale deserves special attention for its sheer absurdity and absolute lies our history was built on. The official story paints him as the brave explorer who “discovered” America in 1492, but reality couldn’t be further from the truth. No authentic portrait of Columbus from his lifetime exists. Over 80 later paintings show him with beards, without beards, curly hair, and long faces. Every version was made decades after he died. The first evidence he was a death mercenary hired by the crown.
“Eyewitness” descriptions claim Columbus was tall, with a hooked nose, blue eyes, and hair that turned white in his thirties. Either way, he was a brutal psychopath that was hired for the job the crown had in store. And new DNA analysis proves his heritage? They can't even determine the saliva from a bearded dragon vs. a human. Yes the DNA hoax is another savory tale they love to throw out and terrorize us with genetic diseased lurking in your background. This guy was supposedly born in Genoa, worked as a merchant sailor, and somehow, against all logic managed to convince the Spanish monarchy to fund his wild shortcut to Asia. Imagine the odds: a sailor strolls up to the king and queen, pitches sailing off into the unknown, and walks out with ships and gold. How would anyone even know there was undiscovered land? It is about as believable as you and your buddy Todd taking your fishing boat to the White House to pitch the president on a trip past the Arctic ice wall. Never gonna happen. Columbus and America as we’re told? Never happened. What sounds more likely is he was spotted for his ruthlessness and ability to follow any orders given, so he was groomed for their attempted world dominance and land takeovers. Remember, to decimate indigenous populations, you have to have a heart of stone and a penchant for violence.
So Columbus, DWS (drunk while sailing), totally lost and disoriented, washed up in the Bahamas, convinced he’d reached the outskirts of Asia. The man had zero idea where he was. The textbooks never tell you what he did next. Columbus ruled the Caribbean like a mob boss on a power trip, just like the US Government. Skeptical? Just look at what they did in Lahaina when the natives wouldn't sell their waterfront land to demons like Oprah.
Columbus’s reign over the Taíno was pure colonial terror. He and his men wielded advanced weaponry for the time: steel swords, crossbows, arquebuses, attack dogs, and small cannons. The Taíno had never seen metal arms or horses. This technological imbalance let Columbus and his mercenaries dominate and destroy. He set up a tribute system so every Taíno over fourteen had to deliver a quota of gold every three months. Failure meant brutal punishment. Hands were cut off, and victims were left to bleed out as warnings. Bartolomé de las Casas, a Spanish friar and eyewitness, wrote that Columbus’s men walked over the natives, men and women, as if they had been cattle. They would test their blades by slicing off limbs or beheading for sport. Columbus trafficked in sex slavery, openly shipping women and girls, some as young as nine or ten, to Spain, and letting his men rape and enslave locals. Villages were burned and entire communities massacred for minor infractions or just to make an example. When the Taíno tried to resist, Columbus responded with overwhelming force, unleashing dogs trained to rip people apart and staging public executions.
After just one generation, the Taíno population was destroyed, not only by the psychopath’s violence but by disease induced conditions, starvation, and despair. Columbus did not discover the Caribbean. He turned it into a slaughterhouse and ruled with blood and terror. Even the Spanish Crown, no stranger to colonial brutality, eventually recalled him in chains, recognizing he was starting to become a liability. Yes, Columbus was a mercenary hired by the crown, sent to seize wealth and territory by any means necessary, and he fulfilled that role with ruthless efficiency. When it started to look bad for the crown, they threw him under the bus and rewrote history. Business as usual.
The sanitized hero-worship you got in school is pure state-sponsored make-believe, right up there with the rest of the government’s “history,” starting with a country filled with peace loving, uncivilized native tribes, devoid of advanced civilizations. Every story they tell us, from dinosaurs to Thanksgiving in the publicly funded indoctrination camps we call the education system, is as truthful as moon landings and mental illness.
This is the foundation our history is built on: delusion, brutality, and the psychopathy of those who wrote the official record. With that in mind, it should be no surprise that our so-called solutions for mental health were never about healing. They were always about control, profit, and erasure. The legacy of these lies is alive and well in every institution that claims to help while grinding vulnerable people beneath its wheels.
The Erased Builders
Let’s drop the fairy tale that America was a blank canvas settled by a handful of cruel colonizers we know as white Europeans. The official narrative is a weapon, designed to erase, divide, and promote the story as conquest by the evil white elitists. The truth is that before Columbus, before the Pilgrims, before any “founders” were even a rumor, the Americas were a patchwork of urban centers, monumental structures, and advanced societies. We have direct evidence of Cahokia, the mounds of Ohio, the cliff cities of the Southwest, and the canal systems of Arizona, all built by Indigenous hands, then claimed or obliterated by whichever empire came next.
The race to conquer and control wasn’t just a European project. Across the world, every rising power Spanish, British, African, Persian, Chinese has used the same playbook: dominate the ecosystems, the native people who lived in harmony with the land and don’t need to work for existence, seize their resources, wipe out their collective ancestral memory, and rewrite history to make themselves the “civilizer.” In America, you see traces of this everywhere. Massive Old World buildings, grand post offices, libraries, and government halls stood in cities whose populations never justified their scale. Research like Agent131711’s uncovers photographic and documentary proof of stone marvels built long before the “settlers” supposedly landed. These weren’t the humble beginnings of a pioneering society. They were the leftovers of something much older, more advanced, and inconvenient for the official story.
The evidence of Black explorers, builders, and entire communities living, thriving, and even governing in early America is not about rewriting one group as heroes and another as villains. It’s about pointing out that history is always written by the victor, and the victor’s first act is to erase everyone else. Spanish Florida had free Black towns and Black military officers in the 1600s. Runaway slaves and Native tribes forged maroon colonies and Black Seminole nations, until new laws, new censuses, and new “one-drop rules” forced them into invisibility. Old photographs, oral traditions, property deeds, and the sheer number of dynamited stone buildings reveal the official history is a lie.

The destruction was never accidental. The story of “progress” required not just erasing people, but demolishing the grand architecture and collective memory of what came before. Why? Because you cannot monetize an ecosystem or conquer a population that lives harmoniously with unlimited resources, unlimited primary water bubbling up from the earth, growing or cultivating food in wild abundance, and free energy harnessed from the aether, stabilized and stored in the ancient star forts. Societies that flourish in balance with their land, surrounded by glorious architecture, are immune to the chains of debt, scarcity, and dependency. Their very existence is an obstacle to the psychopathic mercenaries and profiteers this country was actually built on.
So the conquerors set out to annihilate the spirit and identity of entire populations with pinpoint precision. They didn’t just take over territories; they ripped people from their land, raped women to conquer bloodlines, tore children from their families, and obliterated every monument that stood as proof another way of life ever existed. This is the true legacy of armies in service to empire. Take young men, strip them of conscience, and fill their heads with enemy propaganda until they’ll butcher their own humankind, and bomb cities to gravel.. All for whatever slogan or flag their handlers wave that week. “Democracy,” “freedom,” “progress” are their words to justify genocide.
Once they destroyed abundance and wiped memory clean, the survivors were herded into open-air prisons, concrete holding pens called cities. Their culture was replaced with dependency. Their minds were taught to worship their captors and see their chains as normal life. The result is a planet crawling with slaves who mistake their cages for civilization, never realizing the prison was built long before they were born. This is the cornerstone of mind control. Make the theft invisible, make the pain normal, and the masses will defend their own captivity with pride, never daring to believe freedom was ever possible.
And this is where the next great invention of the conquerors comes in: “mental illness.” After the land was stolen, the people scattered, the records burned, and the past buried under rubble, the rulers needed a new tool. They pathologized the trauma, grief, and dislocation their campaigns had inflicted. They built asylums, turning the deeply human wounds of conquest and loss into a new “disease” to be managed. The label of mental illness became just another way to erase, confine, and profit from the survivors of empire.
This is the rotten foundation beneath the mental health system we are forced to accept today, built on the scorched earth of obliterated nations, demolished architecture, and a relentless campaign to control the human mind with the same brutality as they once seized the land.
The reality is simple for anyone still clinging to the myth. America was always multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and built on the backs, brilliance, and blood of countless people erased from the record. It is the same impulse that blew up grand old buildings, flattened Indigenous cities, and rewrote the rules of who gets remembered and who disappears. If you want to understand the real history of mental health, power, and control, you have to face the ugly truth about who was really here, what they built, and exactly what was destroyed. Only then can you see the World’s Fairs and the mental illness industry for what they are, monuments to conquest, control, and the deliberate engineering of ancestral amnesia.
In the next installment, we’ll dig even deeper. Get ready to uncover the orphan trains, the Cabbage Patch Kids, and the bizarre machinery of industrial-scale child displacement that followed the demolition of America’s past. The buildings weren’t the only thing erased.
